1971 – THE GOLDEN YEAR OF ROCK
Designer: Steve Mitchell (FIFTYSEVEN DESIGN / TOUR DESIGN / 45 ORIGINAL)
The year 1971 marks a period of musical innovation and rebirth, fuelled by political and cultural discontent. Author and broadcaster David Hepworth branded 1971 “Rock’s Golden Year,” as new artists burst onto the scene and already established stars reached new heights. Record sales were rocketing so fast record companies could not keep up. The Rolling Stone’s released the legendary album “Sticky Fingers,” Marvin Gaye released his ground-breaking LP “What’s Going On,” The Doors released their sixth studio album “LA Woman,” David Bowie “Hunky Dory,” Led Zeppelin “IV,” Santana “III,” John Lennon “Imagine,” and Carole King with “Tapestry” amongst many more innovatory albums.
